A second...

Weird, right?

"Can I borrow your pencil for a second?"

When that second turns into a minute...

That minute turns in an hour

That hour into hours

Or those hours into a day?

And that day into never.

Reading this poem strikes me odd that it doesn't happen more often, what am I talking about you ask? Poets thinking alike. Here is a copy of a poem I wrote more than 40 years ago which shows the great minds think alike principle. But first your poem has good depth Standing Ovation! I give it five out of five Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
LIVING YESTERDAY
Onward turn the page of time
Leaving yesterday a useless rhyme
That I remember emotionally entwined
Madding memories I have of her
And how I can never really be sure
I cry for the times that once were
And the things that might have been
If only I could do them again
Would that be such a real sin
If minutes turn into hours
And hours turn into days
And tomorrow is today
Then why am I living yesterday

Lol. This reminds me of someone who borrowed something from me. :)

[Mr.Writer]

Lol yep, this can strike memories :)

My folks always told me that "if you lend anything to anyone just assume you are never getting it back."

I do things will all my heart so to me it makes no difference.

[Mr.Writer]

Lol, it's true...
Thank you jessica

I have lost most of the things I borrowed and the same is true vice-versa:)
An enjoyable piece, Mr writer!

Heh...I often wonder why we have to leave 25 character reviews? What if I can say what I feel in 13?
